8 killed, 26 injured in blast at chemical factory in India's Telangana
NEW DELHI, June 30, (Xinhua): At least eight people were killed and 26 others injured, some seriously, on Monday in a reactor blast inside a chemical factory in the southern Indian state of Telangana, police said. The blast took place in the Pashamylaram industrial area of Patancheru, Sangareddy district, about 48 km northwest of Hyderabad, the capital city of Telangana. Police suspect the death toll may increase, given the critical condition of some of the injured. Reports said around 150 workers were present inside the factory at the time of the blast. Preliminary investigations carried out by the police revealed that a reactor exploded during routine operations at the factory, triggering a massive fire and thus prompting emergency response teams to rush to the site. Television images showed columns of thick black smoke rising from the factory. Senior police official V Satyanaryana told the media the firefighters were trying hard to bring the blaze under control.

Germany charges Syrian youth over plot against Taylor Swift concerts
Germany charges Syrian youth over plot against Taylor Swift concerts German prosecutors said Friday they had filed charges against a Syrian youth, an alleged Islamic State group supporter linked to a 2024 attack plot on a Vienna concert by US pop megastar Taylor Swift. The suspect, only partially named as Mohammad A, was accused of supporting a foreign terrorist organization and of preparing a serious act of violence endangering the state, federal prosecutors said. He had, as a juvenile, started following IS ideology from April last year at the latest and had from July been in contact with a young adult from Austria who was planning a bomb attack at one of Swift's concerts, they said. 'The accused assisted the young adult in his preparations by, among other things, translating bomb-making instructions from Arabic and establishing contact with an IS member abroad via the internet,' federal prosecutors said in a statement. 'The accused also provided the young adult with a template for the oath of allegiance to IS, which the young adult used to join the organization.' Police first took Mohammad A. into custody last September in the eastern city of Frankfurt an der Oder, where the then 15-year-old went to school, but later released him. The federal prosecutors office in the western city of Karlsruhe said Friday that the charges were laid on June 17 in a Berlin higher regional court, which will now decide on their admissibility. Three Vienna shows that were part of Swift's record-breaking 'Eras' tour were cancelled last summer after authorities warned of a terror plot by IS sympathisers. Police detained three suspects, including a 19-year-old Austrian with North Macedonian roots, over the alleged attack threat, with the United States saying it shared intelligence to assist in the investigation. Swift later wrote on social media platform Instagram that 'the reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of fear, and a tremendous amount of guilt because so many had planned on coming to those shows'.--AFP
